WTF!?
That just doesn't look real. Now there's three natural phenomena I want to go see in person: Northern Lights, Grand Canyon, and Boobie Clouds.

They show up in EPOD occasionally.
E.g. [link|http://epod.usra.edu/archive/epodviewer.php3?oid=227968|here]. Check the links for more.
Cheers,

All Hail Boxley!
Although I think the clouds look a bit scrotish, actually >:-)

Leave it to a woman ...
... to see something dirty in a perfectly innocent cloud formation. I mean really, boobies are fine, but teabagging a whole city? That's gross.

I'm sure you meant to say, "scrotal". HTH!
BTW, speaking of things scrotal -- how about [link|http://www.bmeworld.com/dutchman/dm-warning.html|this (NSFW!)] for a "tea bag", then?

Whatsamatta! Can't a person make up a word now and then?
Scrotish has such a lilt to it. And it hangs just like the sporran on a kilt.

depends on where you are viewing them from?

Just saw the South Rim of the Grand Canyon a few days ago,
That's after seeing it back in 1974. Hasn't changed much. :)
I'll be at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon later this week. It's 1000 feet or more higher in elevation.
Under favorable conditions, you should be able to see the Aurora Borealis where you are. I saw them in Upstate NY.

Can't find enough dark
I tried to see the Perseids, but couldn't find someplace dark enough within a reasonable distance.
Damn, that's four natural phenomena I want to see.
And the return of Haley's Comet ... five ... five natural phenomena ...

"Halley's", IIRC. Unless you're thinking of *Bill* H...
...but his Comets were plural... And I'm fairly sure they won't make any comback, at this stage.

I'd be 99 when Halley returns.
I wouldn't mind that too much, under the right circumstances. But [link|http://www.uc.edu/geology/geologylist/cometphotos.html|it wasn't much to see in 1986 in Cincinnati].
[link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_Halley|Wikipedia] has more info. The [link|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Daylight_Comet_of_1910|Great Daylight Comet of 1910] must have been something to see.
Cheers,
Scott.
